According to the Louisiana State Library:

The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) was designated the state reptile of Louisiana in 1983. The word Alligator comes from the Spanish “el lagarto” (the lizard). Native to the Southeastern United States, alligators construct burrows, or “alligator holes” for shelter and hibernation. They are also known to find shelter in swimming pools during the dry months.

Perhaps the most recognizable creature in the Cajun Culinary Kingdom is the alligator.
Every September alligator hunters wander the back roads and bayous of the Louisiana
Swamp in their attempt to capture this delicacy.
